“The garden was permeating the sea, carnations skimming the profound cape” (Odysseus Elytis, Nobel Prize 1979)

Porto Koufo is 130 kilometres far from Thessaloniki and it is the deepest and safest natural harbour in Greece. Lying in the inmost part of the Sithonia peninsula, it combines mountainous and seaside landscapes and offers a vividly relief and picturesque densely vegetated scenery with pine forests and olive groves gliding over the sea.

Situated between the regions of Marmaras and Sarti, it gives access to the most beautiful beaches in the peninsula and the opportunity to guests to visit outstanding places by sea.

The area ensures a peaceful stay and lends itself to all kinds of summer activities and trips, such as hiking, cycling on the mountain, visiting magnificent beaches, tasting fresh fish dishes in local taverns, enjoying the nightlife in the cosmopolitan region of Marmaras and Porto Carras or at the local beach bars.

Porto Koufo is mentioned as the ‘Kofos limnin’ (meaning ‘Deaf lake’) of the ancient Greeks by the Greek historian Thucydides.
